Hi Oggy,

Thanks for your post. Looks like you just survived the brink of a total MCL, ACL and even cartilage tear. Lucky man.

Your MCL itself would take 6-8 weeks to begin feeling OK to run on so about now it should be looking good in the straight direction. The extent of the ACL tear however can only be seen as your physio puts you through more exercises that challenge your change of direction. It it then we will see the extent of the damage to the ligament as it tries to send information to the brain about that the knee is doing and at what speed it is doing it at.

Once can't give a time frame I am afraid suffice to say that the above is essential part of the rehab process and must be explored and tested before a return to sport.

Best of luck
